Once upon a time there was an orange man with a mustache. Every day, the animals lived in the forest. One day one man cut down a tree. Because of that the orange man came. Because of that, the man left. Until finally the forest was again in harmony
Once upon a time there was an aspiring drummer. Every day, he would practice late into the night, trying to perfect his craft. One day, he is approached by a strict teacher who sees potential in him. Because of that, he joins an elite band at his school under the direction of said teacher. Because of that, he becomes more and more obsessed with becoming the best. Until finally, he pushes away all other aspects of his life to finally become the best at what he does.
I feel like fantastic beasts should have been a Netflix show, where for the first season they dod a beast of the weeks, but very subtly introducing the gindlewald plot in the deep background slowly pulling it forward until it’s the main issue near the end of the show. It would give it more time to be fleshed out we actually get to see new and unique fantastic beasts, and they could still keep all the characters and they could have meaningful arcs and growth but I guess not...is it too early for a reboot?
They shouldn’t have made Fantastic Beasts in the first place. The Harry Potter saga has completed in 2011. No need to stretch things or expanding the whole “Wizarding World”. I think JK Rowling tried so hard to build the cinematic universe to compete against Marvel but MCU is far superior as they had planned it since 2008 while Wizarding World, in my opinion, was created as a response to the rise of the first Avengers movie. Just an opinion, I may be wrong.
Anyone else really wanna see more of this? I'd love to see them take Pixar's 22 Rules to other movies, both good and bad, to identify which ones are good or bad (according to Pixar).
Once upon a time there was a man, every day he flew around the galaxy stealing from everyone. One day he picks up a magical rock and because of that the bad guy, who also wants it, steals it from him and his new buddies, and because of that they must go after him, until finally they take back the rock with a dance off.
"So your only skill is being a Zoologist? Perfect! You're the only person who can hunt the ultimate dark wizard!" "Ummm... How does that make the slightest bit of sense?" "Sense? Is that some muggle mumbo-jumbo?"
Most economical telling of COG: Two manipulative magical masterminds "aquire" "mentees" to weaponize against each other to circumvent their blood pact. Except we let one off the hook for it because he's the "good guy". (I just love it everytime Newt calls out Dumbledore on this).
One day there was a fish. Every day, he raised his son. One day his son got lost. Because of that, he went out to find his son. Because of that, he learnt many things about the ocean and other sea life. Until finally, he finds his son and tells him all the things he learnt along the way :)
Once upon a time, there was a high schooler. Every day, his dad would get bullied. One day, his friend asked him to test a time machine. Because of that, he went back in time and met a younger version of his dad. Because of that, he inspired his dad to stand up for himself. Until finally, he returned to the present day to see that his dad is no longer being bullied.
Once upon a time there was a young couple with a child. Everyday they loved one another and enjoyed their life without a care. One day a stranger proclaimed that their child was quite special, unique and powerful. Because of that, they were violently murdered in their own home by an infamous serial killer. Because of that, their baby, the sole survivor of the incident, was sent to live with their abusive relatives. Until finally, years later, the child received a formal invitation to an esteemed private school. I was intentionally super vague so it would be more difficult, but I can guarantee everyone who reads this comment knows the answer.
All the fans wanted was a series of movies with Newt and his friends traveling around the world and facing magical creatures... the exploration of the Grindel/Dumbledore toxic romance could have been it's own thing or at least introduced later in the series... it felt like a messy mashup of too much happening.
Once upon a time, there was a boy. Everyday he lived happily with his Aunt and Uncle. Until one day he was bitten by a radioactive spider. Because of that, he used his powers to get money. Because of that, he lets a thief escape because he didn't get enough money. Until finally, the thief kills his uncle and he learns that with great power comes great responsibility
Once upon a time there was a young hoarder. Every day, she would venture out to find more things for her collection. One day she met a new treasure, one of a kind. Because of that, she made a deal with a witch. Because of that, she lost her voice. Until finally her daddy got her out of her debt.
hahah i read this as her dad got her out of debt and i was like??? when did ariel get into debt?? i was thinking along the lines of a money debt not the voice thing 🤣
Once upon a time there was an ogre who lived in his swamp. Every day, he enjoyed staying away from society. One day he lost his swamp to a selfish lord. Because of that, he goes on a quest to rescue a princess. Because of that, he falls in love with said princess. Until finally he defeats the selfish lord and marries the princess. Guess that movie
Once upon a time there were two brothers. Every day they read and watched their favorite books. One day they decided to make a TH-cam channel. Because of that, they became famous and well known across the internet. Because of that, the two brothers got to meet their idols and start a coffee business. Until finally to be continued...
One upon a time there was a king Every day he ruled his kingdom One day god told him to find the holy grail Because of that he met brave knights Because of that they went on a hilarious adventure Until finally we learn it was never real
Sorry, but I feel like I have to be "that guy" and point out that Arthur, King of the Britons, met the knights first, before being charged by God to seek the Holy Grail.
I really like newt as a reluctant hero he plays that part perfectly, he doesn't want to be the big hero that saves the world (he's happy leaving that to his brother) he is just happy being a magizoologist
But that's the thing, you don't need to be a great hero to do the right thing. You just need to make a choice, and stick with it. That's it. You don't have to save a universe. Sometimes the right choice is just making sure that if you can stop a death from happening you choose to stop it.
Reluctant hero is good, just have them FIGHT to remain neutral and be left alone to do their own thing. Newt capitulated and commits to a side by the end, so there goes that.
Hes playing that part well but thats why he shouldnt be the main charachter. There is no Harry Potter franchise without Harry, but Fantastic Beasts without Newt (and the beasts) would be 👌👌
Let's be real, the reason why Crimes of Grindelwald FAILED was because of several reasons: (1) WHERE ARE THE CRIMES!? (2) There are too many plots happening and by showing all of these plotlines, it confuses the audience as to what exactly the story it is try to tell. (3) J.K. Rowling tries to be fan service-y but it doesn't add anything, she just retcons aspects of the Wizarding World. (4) J.K. Rowling is NOT a screenwriter, which is different from being an author. Warner Brothers need to hire a screenwriter to work with her to condense all that story into something that is watchable. (5) J.K. Rowling should have written the full story out and then decide how to bring that story to the big screennot vice versa.
First thought after watching this movie for the first time: They shouldn't have named the movie "Fantastic Beasts" + "Crimes of Grindelwald" Not that I hate this movie, it's just dissapointing :( too much stuffs happening in one movie
Something has been bugging me. Is there any way you guys can make a video about this? When reading the books and watching the movies I've always wondered, is there any form of magic that Muggles can actually perform? Not wand-magic or spells and charms and such. But what about potion making? Divination? Travelling by broom or floo powder? Do you actually need to have magical blood to do any of these things? Would love to hear your thoughts SCB! Love your vids!💪
I would say that, at least potions, would require magic solely if not that you need a wand to make them. Divination is already questionable even in the magic world. Used only, really, by Seers of which are magical. As for broom work or carpet work, I could see that requiring magic to control it but you could be on them. Though the Floo Network I can see being usable by Muggles.
@@kcnbt99 idk, I don't remember them needing a wand for every potion🤔. Then there's Firenze and the centaurs right? They're respected practitioners of Divination, yet are not really Seers
@@kcnbt99 there aren't any potions that don't require a wand here or there , this was like intentional written like this so muggles wouldn't be able make them , use on the other hand is different they can use potions that have already been made
Once upon a time there was a young girl. Every day, she played with her friends. One day she and her parents moved houses. Because of that, her parents stumbled into an area and took things not meant for them and were punished by being turned into animals. Because of that she had to work at a witch’s bathhouse where she doesn’t fit in. Until finally she re-remembers and falls in love with the boy who saved her from drowning years ago and helps both her parents, the boy and herself attain their freedom again.
A Dumbledore-centric movie series of his early life prior to HP would have been infinitely better. We know enough as established in the books (book 7 really) to have a more secure and pre-written plot, and he’s a fascinating character with depth and almost unparalleled power that it would be cool to see on screen.
Thing is, this is what they are ultimately going with. And the moment Grindelwald was mentioned (in like minute 1 of Fantastic Beasts 1) we all knew the series would end with the big duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, where Dumbledore gets the Elder Wand. So in a way this is the Dumbledore/Grindelwald series. Only trouble with that: In part 1, Dumbledore isn't present at all (and only referenced like 2 times) and Grindelwald only shows up in the end (plus you don't want to name you movie after the baddie). But in a way this is "The Dumbledore anthology part 1: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them" and "The Dumbledore anthology part 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald". I think this is proven by part 3 (which I like a lot more than part 2) - the "beasts" part is kind of holding them back by now.
Once upon a time there was a performer, every day performing the same Halloween act, one day he finds a way to a new world, because of that he decides bring this new world to his old word, because of that he decides to be the new idol of the holiday despite his lack of understanding, until finally he failed and goes about to fix his mistakes
Pretty much the golden rule of film is this: the audience needs to root for the main character. If they don't care about them, or the journey they're on, it's dead on arrival. *And the problem with Crimes of Grindelwald is simple:* there's too much going on yet at the same time there's also not enough happening as well.
Another huge problem is that the main character NEEDS to be the focus or at least be heavily involved. Newt was both of these things in the first movie. In the 2nd, he kinda isn't, he's just randomly thrown into the whole thing and seems to be in the sidelines while the real plot keeps happening.
Voldemort laughing caught me so off guard! Laughed so loud my roommate asked me if I was ok. Long story short, I'm not. That was pure joy in a 3 second clip!
Once upon a time there was a farm boy. Every day, he helped his uncle on the farm. One day, two robots on the run from the evil fascist government arrive and one of them escapes. Because of that, the farm boy meets a hermit living in the desert. Because of that, he goes with him to give the robots back to the princess in danger. Until finally they rescue the princess, the hermit dies to save the hero and he blows up the government's weapon. The end.
Once upon a time there was a group of friends. Every day, they worried about their safety as people disappeared. One day, they began to live through scary experiences (alone). Because of that, they confide their fears in each other. Because of that, they band together to figure out what's been happening in their town. Until finally, they win.
When I was in high school, we saw a university theatre production of Romeo and Juliet (the play we read in class). As part of an exercise after the play, they showed us a script for the play condensed to a duration of one minute. Loads of characters were cut, none were combined, but the part that stuck with me was that Paris (Juliet's arranged husband) only had one line: 'Alas, I am slain!'
Once upon a time there was an archeologist. Everyday, he taught college classes. One day, he is told to find an ancient, lost artifact. Because of that, he goes looking for it in the desert. Until finally, the artifact melts Nazis.
Once upon a time there was a boy. Every day, he was bullied by his aunt,uncle, and cousin. One day he was told he was a wizard. Because of that, he went to a magic school. Because of that, he had to beat a dark wizard. Until finally he killed him and lived for 6 more movies.
“Doesn’t seem to understand the nature of things that he deems as simple.” This is one of those moments that you were talking about in the theme section where it’s a really cool idea but it’s just an idea. However the other thing that I think it could be linking back to was the idea of Voldemort underestimating the magical ability of things that he deemed underneath him as well. I feel like Rowling has all of these illusions between the two villains. That is why we see a house elf (and his magic) being able to get around all the magic to get into the cave to get the horcrux in the sixth book. When a wizard could not. Because Voldemort didn’t protect his horcux against the house elf’s magic because he didn’t see it as something he should worry about
My top 3 reasons why this movie failed: 1. The movie spent a long time building up suspense with little to no pay off, which made it hugely disappointing. Instead of making a stand alone movie, they made a filler movie that only exists to introduce new characters and set up new storylines for the third movie. 2. The tone of the entire movie was off and completely unlike the first movie. There was too much of a focus on politics and not enough on the main characters and magical creatures. In my opinion, this is not what the fanbase is looking for in this series and it left many viewers bored. 3. There were far too many new and/or minor characters that the audience was expected to empathize with and care about, but they were introduced so quickly that viewers have no time to develop any emotional investment in them.
And also Leta was probably one of the better (not that that's saying much) new characters in this movie, and they made that last-minute decision to kill her...
Once upon a time, there were two brothers. Every day, they made really interesting videos. One day, they saw Crimes of Grindlewald and hated it. Because of that, they made a video about it. Because of that, more people saw the video. Until finally, they made their point: Crimes of Grindlewald is not a good movie I know, it’s a tough one
once upon a time there was a man. every day he spent with his wife. one day his wife died. because of that, he got very grumpy and hits a man. because of that he makes a flying house and goes on a very long adventure and fights a villain. until finally, he beats the villain and goes home guess what movie hit: Pixar movie
once upon a time there was a farm boy. every day the farm boy did tasks for the rich landlady while falling in love with her the entire time. one day the farm boy left on a journey and was captured and killed by a pirate. because of that the woman he loved became engaged to a pompous prince, believing the farm boy was dead. because of that, the farm boy (who wasn’t actually dead) came back to save her with former enemies turned friends he met along the way. until finally, the group of friends saves her from marring the corrupt prince and ride off into the sunset.
The biggest mystery? We still don’t even know what the crimes of Grindelwald even are. Edited to say I see you’ve clearly watched Jenny Nicholson’s video on the subject as you used a quote from her video on the whiteboard.
Killing a family in the house he used as a hideout? Killing the guards in the carriage? Killing Leta and everyone else who died from his big fires? Evading custody? Not to mention trespassing of the catacombs and the illegal gathering he did there
To be honest the best part of that movie was finding out in a different wizard culture muggles are called CANT SPELLS. Me and my friends can't take that moment seriously.
Once upon a time there was a young girl who lived in her home town with her parents. Every day, she went to school and played her favorite sport with her best friend. One day, her father along with her family had to move to a different city for his work. Because of that she became lonely as she no longer had friends and her parents were too busy to keep her company. Because of that she slowly became unable to feel any emotions and made the irrational decision to go back home. Until finally, she was able to come back into herself and balance her emotions with the help of her family.
Actually - exposition is when a story presents information without drama. "The Force is what gives a Jedi his power" - exposition. "No, I am your father" - drama.
Well actually I think exposition is is the characters, setting, basic plot and why everything is happening. Exposition has to be delivered but it can be delivered with drama or blandness
Once upon a time, there was a lounge singer in Reno. Everyday, she would sing for uninterested gamblers at her boyfriend's casino. One day, she walked in on her boyfriend executing his driver. Because of that, she had to go into hiding in a convent as a nun. Because of that, when she is kidnapped by her boyfriend, the nuns from the convent have to go and rescue her. Until finally the boyfriend is arrested, the singer is safe, and the nuns have little show for the pope.
I still love Queenie and it makes a lot of sense. She's innocent and easy to manipulate but also quite powerful, she knows what her enemy is thinking before they do it. All she wants is to marry Jacob and Grindlewald promised her a world where she can marry the one she loves. I hope she has her happy ending with Jacob. But I also love the fact she joined him because that hasn't happened in the books before. Nobody from the good side joined the other side before.
If Jacob went into the fire wouldn’t he be killed? Being a Muggle?...I think as Queenies last bit of goodness burnt off as she passed through it and that’s how she survived...🤓
Olivia Taylor the real problem is that these stories were cooked up based on marketing ideas. Somebody said “kids like animals and there will be lots of merch we can sell, let’s make a new Harry Potter that’s all about animals.” But they didn’t get to the step about how they would make that a dramatic series _without_ having to hurt or fight animals. They could have stolen the _Horizon Zero Dawn_ solution and made them evil robot animals. Otherwise, the only option is what they did: have a dramatic story that basically has nothing to do with the setup.
@@saraha180 yeah totally agree but if maybe j.k Rowling had written them as books and not thought about whether there was going to be any film's like she did with hardy potter it would have work
@@saraha180 that's mainly why I didn't like both movies. What the title sounds like: fun movie about being on the hunt for mystical creatures. What the movies are about: abused kids, larger than life supervillain, contrived plot, not really trying to catch magical creatures ... all of that Credence stuff was not interesting to me and the movies became more and more just about that ...
14:53 Harry walking so close to Dumbledores robes almost tripping him over ALWAYS stresses me out (no matter how many times i've seen the movie) and the fact that you included this exact scene frustrates me. All in all great vid. This comment wasn't even a little constructive from my end, i just needed to vent.
Once upon a time in a far away land, there was a young farmer who lived with his uncle and aunt. Every day he dreamed about having the adventures that his father had, but he knew that his destiny was to stay in his farm instead. One day he received an important message with information to overthrow the evil empire, and because of that his uncles were killed and his farm turned into ashes and fire. Because of that he went to an adventure with his father's old friend, and was taught the magic that his father used until his end. Because of that he managed to save the princess and get to the rebel base, but not before his new master was killed by the dark knight who fought for the empire's case. Because of that he grieved, but had his friends nonetheless. Until finally he destroyed the empire's most terrible weapon, with his master's bless.
Once upon a time, there was a high school slacker. Every day, he rides his skateboard and plays his guitar. One day, his best friend, a crackpot scientist, invents a time machine and accidentally sends him back 30 years to when his parents were in high school. Because of that, he accidentally prevents his parents from falling in love, jeopardizing his existence. Because of that, he has to try to match them up himself. Until finally, his dad punches out the bully and woos his mom, allowing him to return to his own time.
Once upon a time there was a moisture farmer. Every day, he farmed... moisture? One day he bought a droid carrying a distress signal from a princess. Because of that, he met an old wizard and decided to help him rescue the princess. Because of that, he and his new friends infultrated a space station to rescue said princess. Until finally he helped the princess destroy the space station and saved the day. Huh, real tough one to guess, this one!
Once upon a time there was a young boy. Everyday, he would work as an engineer or go out and compete in gliding competitions. One day, two men appear looking for some parts to their spaceship that was shot down. Because of that, they happen upon a young boy who happens to have the highest count of metachlorians they have ever seen. Because of that they decide to take the boy with them to train to become like them. Until finally, they unknowngly create a monster who will break all of their codes and bring about their destruction.
Once upon a time, there was a bad film adaption of a book. Every day, a kid fought superpowerful beings. One day, it got four great sequels. Because of that, it got 4 spin-off series. Until finally the writer became an A-List celebrity. This one is extremely tough
As much as I love Newt, he just isn't the fitting main character for the whole Grindelwald Story. Or Grindelwald isn't the antagonist for Newt. His story could have ended after the first film.
Michael Roman honestly? I just want his book, but with CGI. I want more beasts. I just want more Newt + magical beasts. Grindelwald and Dumbledore can go get their own movie series.
I agree with @Random Cat, and I know we're not alone... I think the one crucial thing JKR and/or Warner Bros. doesn't comprehend is that we of the Potterverse fandom are generally much more interested in hearing about Newt and his relatively low-key adventures with his creatures than about another epic war between the Wizarding World and "The Most Evil Wizard of the Age".
I don't know, but I get the feeling the Rowling wanted to tell the story of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and the doomed, toxic, gay romance that pushed Albus to romantic isolation and self impose political unimportance for the rest of his life; and the studio didn't think that would be family friendly, so we ended up with barely coherent Newt and his magical petting zoo. All doomed, of course because Rowling is a great novelist, but a mediocre novice screenplay writer.
I have the same feeling. Like Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship was like a mysterious subplot in the books that was hardly touched upon. I kind of hope that we get to see more of the story of Ilvermorny's history in the following movies as the lore behind it is very intriguing. Perhaps in the way that the three brothers and the Deathly Hallows were explained?
@@LuddyFish_ I don't really think they will, which is a pity, it is an interesting story. I don't know why they can't just tell a totally different story set in Rowling's wizarding world. Something not related to Harry Potter or it's characters. Or at the very least the story that we were supposed to be having. The first movie is the one people most enjoy because it is Newt's movie for the most part but in the second one you can already see what was the story that actually was trying to be told and Newt becomes almost superfluous in his own movie. Oh I rambled on and on again... I'll shut up now.
once upon a time there was this boy. Every day he would go out to his farm and or hunt to provide for the family. One Day while he was hunting, he found a blue stone that turns out to be a dragon egg. Because of that, he was destined to be an age of warriors that have long since extinguish, Because of that, he left his home village and traveled across the continent to a large Mountain Range. He would stay there for a span before finally going to a forest to complete his training.
Couldn’t agree more. This movie was so full of unnecessary plot lines and characters, I remember leaving the theater confused and disappointed. Hopefully the next movie will be better and, like you said, this will just be one (not so great) chapter of the full story.
I believe that initially, the series was not supposed to have anything to do with Newt after the first movie. I think the original plan was to watch the rise of Grindewald through the eyes of different ancillary characters each movie. Like maybe the second movie would have Bathilda Bagshot as the POV character. However, the 4 main characters - especially Newt - were so popular that they had to scrap those plans and shoehorn Newt into the rest of the series.
@@jchacho6335 I think that would work so much better. To tell few separate stories, which tie with each other, telling the story of Grindelwald. Maybe it wouldn't feel so forced if they created completely different side-story around it, just like they did with first FB.
Once upon a time, there was a novelist. Every day, she worked on her books about a young wizard. One day, someone turned her books into a film franchise. Because of that, she became even more popular and praised than before. Because of that, she decided she was as good as her fans said, and started trying to do something other than the novels her fans loved. Until finally, we were given this film that would be easily passed off as garbage fanfiction if she wasn't the one who wrote it.
Once upon a time there was an ogre. Every day, he would enjoy time alone in his swamp. One day, magical creatures were dumped in his property. Because of that, he was forced to go on a quest to rescue a cursed princes locked away in a castle guarded by terrible fire breathing dragon, with the help of a talking donkey. Until finally he realized that he had feelings for the princess and the princess for him and the curse was broken by true loves first kiss.
Once upon a time there was a dog who loved his human. Every day, he protected her and her family. One day, he was unable to protect her, and they were separated. Because of that, he went searching for her. Because of that, the girl and the dog are truly separated for the first time. Until finally, they are reunited.
This one has 2 parts Part 1 Once upon a time there was a mad man. Every day his population died out until only he was left. One day decided to cut down on the population of the universe. Because of that he hunted down magical rocks. Because of that a group of heroes tried stop stop him. Until finally, he achieved his goal of halving the universe's population. Part 2 Once upon a time there was a really smart guy with a suit of armor. Every day after the events of part 1, he took care of a family and coped with part 1's ending. One day the rest of part 1's heroes came to him and asking him to help. Because of that he went back in time to get some magic rocks. Because of that the peoe who were killed in part 1 were revived and the villain came back to destroy the universe. Until finally the smart man sacrificed himself to save the universe.
Once upon a time there was a nerdy high school kid. Every day he was bullied for being the way he was. One day he was bitten by a bug. Because of that he gain superhuman abilities. Because of that he learned a great lesson about his abilities from a family member. Until finally he learned that he will use his powers to save people and become a true hero.

One day a mysterious old man appeared at his door, wanting to know if he would like to do something exiting. Because of that he went on a quest. Because of that he found a ring. Until finally the quest ended and he when back to his comfortable home.

Once upon a time there was a palentologist. Every day, he studied dinosaur bones. One day a man arrived with money asking him to promote his "amusement park". Because of that, he ended up on an island filled with living dinosaurs. Because of that, he was in mortal danger, along with others on the island, when the dinosaurs escaped. Until finally, he and the others are rescued from the island.
Once upon a time there was a rich self centered billionaire. Everyday he would drink and party and not really care about anyone, Until One day, he gets kidnapped in a foreign country and gets shrapnel in his chest forcing him to have a reactor so he doesn’t die, because of that he builds a suit to escape, and while he’s there he sees his weapons in the wrong hands and being used to harm people and then makes it back to his mansion safely. Because of that he stops weapon production and builds a suit used to help people, but then his “uncle” goes against him and steals his technology. Until finally he confronts him and they battle causing “uncle” to die. After this he confronts the press saying the famous line “I am ____ ___”
Once upon a time, there was a young teenage girl. Every day she was ordinary. Until one day her family moves because of that her parents eat food they shouldn’t and because of that, she has to sell her name. Until finally she walks out of that place without turning around...I tried really hard to make this as vague as possible.
Once upon a time there was a (former) god living on earth. Every day, he struggled with his inability to control his strength and being bullied because of said strength. One day he decides that he wants to figure out where he came from and what his purpose in the world is. Because of that, he figures out that he is the son of two gods and that his god - ness (?) was taken away by his evil uncle. And, in order for him to become a god again he has to become a "true hero". Because of that, he goes to train to become a hero by a satyr and meets this lovely lady named ____ (but her friends call her ___, at least they would if she had any friends).

Until finally, he broke and made it his life's goal to get revenge on the boy who spent his days making inventions.
Newt is probably my utmost favorite character of this entire franchise. That said, it really does seem really awkward to have him be the main character in plots that he's only tangentially involved in.
Once upon a time there was a girl who lived on a farm with her aunt, uncle, and cousin. Every day, she helped her family on the farm. One day a twister swept her away to a far away place. Because of that, she started her way to a wizard who could get her home. Because of that, she met friends on the path who also needed the wizard's help. Until finally they reach the wizard, the friends get what they need, and the girl gets home to her family.
Once upon a time there was a weatherman, everyday he woke up to the same song, and lived the same day. One day, he couldn't get the woman he fell in love with, to love him back.

Until finally the woman he loved fell in love with the man he'd become, and a new day dawned.
This is absolutely fascinating. I never knew Pixar had this and, as a writer, I really want a poster of these rules on my wall now. They’re amazing. Lots of people bring up really good and interesting points in the comments as to why the movie failed, but what I found interesting from the video itself is that it seems like ultimately it boiled down to the main character not choosing a side. (It’s possible he could have picked a side and it could have failed anyways, but that’s the one thing I heard you coming back to.) I liked Pixar’s phrasing, that a passive character (especially a main character) is *poison* to the audience. I think that makes a lot of sense. Of course we don’t find the story very compelling…Newt himself was never compelled, and he’s the protagonist we’re supposed to most identify with. That was rule one. A movie needs to be about the main character. If it’s not, it makes sense it falls apart. People tend to fall more in love with other characters, but there’s still a reason they’re not the protagonist, and shouldn’t be. “Hey look, this character is interesting” won’t successfully substitute for a main character…doing their job being the main character.
Agreed. And that’s how rule #14, trashes everything said by the SCB. JK has proven us time and time again how perfectly tied up everything is and going for 5 movies should’ve a purpose above mktng stuff. Yes, all companies want money, but how about doing it perfectly like theatre, or 7 books, or 8 movies. Give it time, the lore is thickening and has us talking and theorizing so much that’s actually serving its purpose.
You all say that this movie only will be good in the context of the entire series, but as far as we know literally nothing happens in this movie that’s actually important to the overall plot. The only thing that happens that will be important moving forward is the fact that Queenie and Credence join Grindelwald and credence finds out he’s a Dumbledore. Maybe a few characters that were introduced will be important like Nagini, Flamel and Newt’s brother. But the whole thing with credence wanting to know who he is, everyone chasing him around, finding out he’s actually a Lestrange but actually he’s not is just really a waste of time, we didn’t need to see that before we see the third movie. Then there’s all the other new characters that are introduced but they die so they’re not exactly gonna be important moving forward, Leeta’s sacrifice might be good to know about but literally no one is gonna care about that random guy who supported Grindelwald but not completely so he died, or the black guy who told them a really unnecessary backstory.
It's fine to be part of an over arching plot but every part of the story needs to make sense on it's own too. Think LOTR. Each movie they have one big thing that happens, all of which are stockpiling until they get to the big over arching thing. But each one is a complete story on it's own as well. Movies need to have a complete story first. Once they have that THEN they can work towards tying in an over arching narrative. What is crimes of grindlewalds complete story?
Forest Grump i think the main differences is that this movies come actually from direct screenplay rather than a whole book like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.
Once upon a time, there was an idea. Every day, this man with an eye patch watched over the world and searched for superheroes.

I'm reminded of something Rowling once said in an interview... _"The lake is the setting for the second task that the Triwizard competitors must face in Goblet of Fire, which is also my favourite task. I find it satisfyingly creepy; I like the diversity of the methods employed by the competitors to breathe underwater, and I enjoyed plumbing the depths of a part of the grounds that had never been seen before. In the original draft of Chamber of Secrets, I had Harry and Ron crash into the lake in Mr Weasley's Ford Anglia, and meet the merpeople there for the first time. At that time I had a vague notion that the lake might lead to other places, and that the merpeople might play a larger role in the later books than they did, so I thought that Harry ought to be introduced to both at this stage. However, the Whomping Willow provided a more satisfying, less distracting crash, and served a later purpose in Prisoner of Azkaban, too. The Great Lake (which is really a Scottish loch, apparently freshwater and landlocked) never did develop as a portal to other seas or rivers, although the appearance of the Durmstrang ship from its depths in Goblet of Fire hints at the fact that if you are travelling by an enchanted craft, you might be able to take a magical shortcut to other waterways."_ If Newt had been surprised by Dumbledore asking him when they met and take his Kelpie with him from his home to Hogsmeade, and they met in the dead of night outside Honeydukes and Dumbledore suddenly showing up from _inside_ said shop, asking him to be quiet as not to wake up the owners in the upstairs flat and brought him into Hogwarts castle, where they would sneak outside and walk to the edge of the Great Lake.There, Dumbledore converse with the Merpeople, and told Newt that if he releases his Kelpie into the lake, the Merpeople had agreed to escort him to one of the secret passages underwater that would bring him out to sea, and that he could journey from there to France. Just release the Kelpie, have Dumbledore wish Newt good luck before Newt climbs into the case, Dumbledore closes it, locks it, casts an Impervius Charm on it so it will repel water and tosses it in after the Kelpie, which shoots dramatically up from the water, the case carefully tucked between its teeth, and then disappears back underwater. BOOM. That's how there would've been a pay-off to the Kelpie. How is it Rowling didn't think of this?
When you have such an expansive universe with many rules and places, it gets hard just to follow one path and make the sacrifice to leave some things out. I really like this idea though of Newt travelling through the ocean on Kelpie as it brings in more of Newt's closeness to magical beasts. And I might add as well this is very plausible as there is an ocean swim where you swim across the English Channel and many have succeeded.
The fact that you took the time to research the exact quote, think of this exact scenario, plan it out like an actual movie while keeping in mind that the audience wants to see action and write it all out as a comment in a TH-cam video makes me reconsider my level of geekness.
@Marianne He did know about the Marauders. Everyone who ever met James, Sirius, Remus and Peter knew the four of them was thick as thieves back at school. As for Sirius breaking in, there's about seventy years between Crimes of Grindelwald and book 3. If he didn't use it since and didn't think of it much in all that time, perhaps it simply didn't occur to him. Alternatively, perhaps he could have let Newt inside the school through the front gates?

I feel like fantastic beasts should have been a Netflix show, where for the first season they dod a beast of the weeks, but very subtly introducing the gindlewald plot in the deep background slowly pulling it forward until it’s the main issue near the end of the show. It would give it more time to be fleshed out we actually get to see new and unique fantastic beasts, and they could still keep all the characters and they could have meaningful arcs and growth but I guess not...is it too early for a reboot?
Omg this is such a good idea. But unfortunately I think it's too late for a reboot since we are already 2 movies in the franchise.
But actually this reminds me of the witcher where they had one beast per episode too.
They shouldn’t have made Fantastic Beasts in the first place. The Harry Potter saga has completed in 2011. No need to stretch things or expanding the whole “Wizarding World”. I think JK Rowling tried so hard to build the cinematic universe to compete against Marvel but MCU is far superior as they had planned it since 2008 while Wizarding World, in my opinion, was created as a response to the rise of the first Avengers movie.
Just an opinion, I may be wrong.

I really like newt as a reluctant hero he plays that part perfectly, he doesn't want to be the big hero that saves the world (he's happy leaving that to his brother) he is just happy being a magizoologist
But that's the thing, you don't need to be a great hero to do the right thing. You just need to make a choice, and stick with it. That's it. You don't have to save a universe. Sometimes the right choice is just making sure that if you can stop a death from happening you choose to stop it.
Reluctant hero is good, just have them FIGHT to remain neutral and be left alone to do their own thing. Newt capitulated and commits to a side by the end, so there goes that.
Hes playing that part well but thats why he shouldnt be the main charachter. There is no Harry Potter franchise without Harry, but Fantastic Beasts without Newt (and the beasts) would be 👌👌
Let's be real, the reason why Crimes of Grindelwald FAILED was because of several reasons:
(1) WHERE ARE THE CRIMES!?
(2) There are too many plots happening and by showing all of these plotlines, it confuses the audience as to what exactly the story it is try to tell.
(3) J.K. Rowling tries to be fan service-y but it doesn't add anything, she just retcons aspects of the Wizarding World.
(4) J.K. Rowling is NOT a screenwriter, which is different from being an author. Warner Brothers need to hire a screenwriter to work with her to condense all that story into something that is watchable.
(5) J.K. Rowling should have written the full story out and then decide how to bring that story to the big screennot vice versa.
Yesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea, the main reason is just it's REALLY CONFUSING
First thought after watching this movie for the first time:
They shouldn't have named the movie "Fantastic Beasts" + "Crimes of Grindelwald"

Something has been bugging me.
Is there any way you guys can make a video about this?
When reading the books and watching the movies I've always wondered, is there any form of magic that Muggles can actually perform? Not wand-magic or spells and charms and such.
But what about potion making? Divination? Travelling by broom or floo powder? Do you actually need to have magical blood to do any of these things?
Would love to hear your thoughts SCB! Love your vids!💪
I would say that, at least potions, would require magic solely if not that you need a wand to make them. Divination is already questionable even in the magic world. Used only, really, by Seers of which are magical. As for broom work or carpet work, I could see that requiring magic to control it but you could be on them. Though the Floo Network I can see being usable by Muggles.
I would imagine potions is a definite. It doesn't seem to have much to do with your magical ability. Just the ingredients and process.
@@kcnbt99 idk, I don't remember them needing a wand for every potion🤔. Then there's Firenze and the centaurs right? They're respected practitioners of Divination, yet are not really Seers
@@kcnbt99 there aren't any potions that don't require a wand here or there , this was like intentional written like this so muggles wouldn't be able make them , use on the other hand is different they can use potions that have already been made

A Dumbledore-centric movie series of his early life prior to HP would have been infinitely better. We know enough as established in the books (book 7 really) to have a more secure and pre-written plot, and he’s a fascinating character with depth and almost unparalleled power that it would be cool to see on screen.
most def!!
Thing is, this is what they are ultimately going with. And the moment Grindelwald was mentioned (in like minute 1 of Fantastic Beasts 1) we all knew the series would end with the big duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, where Dumbledore gets the Elder Wand.
So in a way this is the Dumbledore/Grindelwald series. Only trouble with that: In part 1, Dumbledore isn't present at all (and only referenced like 2 times) and Grindelwald only shows up in the end (plus you don't want to name you movie after the baddie). But in a way this is "The Dumbledore anthology part 1: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them" and "The Dumbledore anthology part 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald".
I think this is proven by part 3 (which I like a lot more than part 2) - the "beasts" part is kind of holding them back by now.

Pretty much the golden rule of film is this: the audience needs to root for the main character.

Also... what are the crimes of grindelwald lol
Yeah, either have more in the movie to tie it all together better, or less stuff to focus on the stuff that matters.
Another huge problem is that the main character NEEDS to be the focus or at least be heavily involved.
Newt was both of these things in the first movie. In the 2nd, he kinda isn't, he's just randomly thrown into the whole thing and seems to be in the sidelines while the real plot keeps happening.

“Doesn’t seem to understand the nature of things that he deems as simple.” This is one of those moments that you were talking about in the theme section where it’s a really cool idea but it’s just an idea. However the other thing that I think it could be linking back to was the idea of Voldemort underestimating the magical ability of things that he deemed underneath him as well. I feel like Rowling has all of these illusions between the two villains. That is why we see a house elf (and his magic) being able to get around all the magic to get into the cave to get the horcrux in the sixth book. When a wizard could not. Because Voldemort didn’t protect his horcux against the house elf’s magic because he didn’t see it as something he should worry about
My top 3 reasons why this movie failed:
1. The movie spent a long time building up suspense with little to no pay off, which made it hugely disappointing. Instead of making a stand alone movie, they made a filler movie that only exists to introduce new characters and set up new storylines for the third movie.
2. The tone of the entire movie was off and completely unlike the first movie. There was too much of a focus on politics and not enough on the main characters and magical creatures. In my opinion, this is not what the fanbase is looking for in this series and it left many viewers bored.
3. There were far too many new and/or minor characters that the audience was expected to empathize with and care about, but they were introduced so quickly that viewers have no time to develop any emotional investment in them.
You could’ve used this same comment to describe The Phantom Menace
or Age of Ultron

The biggest mystery? We still don’t even know what the crimes of Grindelwald even are.
Edited to say I see you’ve clearly watched Jenny Nicholson’s video on the subject as you used a quote from her video on the whiteboard.
Don’t you remember that one time he ... or that other time when he did ... But what about when he broke the law pertaining to ... shut up
“Rise of Grindelwald” would’ve been an infinitely better title
Killing a family in the house he used as a hideout? Killing the guards in the carriage? Killing Leta and everyone else who died from his big fires? Evading custody? Not to mention trespassing of the catacombs and the illegal gathering he did there
We didn't see any crimes. Besides killing his pet at the beginning. He just wanted to protest against non magical humans.

Once upon a time there was a young girl who lived in her home town with her parents. Every day, she went to school and played her favorite sport with her best friend. One day, her father along with her family had to move to a different city for his work. Because of that she became lonely as she no longer had friends and her parents were too busy to keep her company. Because of that she slowly became unable to feel any emotions and made the irrational decision to go back home. Until finally, she was able to come back into herself and balance her emotions with the help of her family.

Actually - exposition is when a story presents information without drama.
"The Force is what gives a Jedi his power" - exposition.
"No, I am your father" - drama.
Well actually I think exposition is is the characters, setting, basic plot and why everything is happening. Exposition has to be delivered but it can be delivered with drama or blandness

Once upon a time, there was a lounge singer in Reno. Everyday, she would sing for uninterested gamblers at her boyfriend's casino. One day, she walked in on her boyfriend executing his driver.

Until finally the boyfriend is arrested, the singer is safe, and the nuns have little show for the pope.
... Does this movie involve Whoopi Goldberg?
Plus, you didn’t even mention what the writers did with Queenie, which makes the first movie less fun to watch. And the first movie was GOOD!
It's actually my favourite Harry Potter/wizarding world movie.
I still love Queenie and it makes a lot of sense. She's innocent and easy to manipulate but also quite powerful, she knows what her enemy is thinking before they do it. All she wants is to marry Jacob and Grindlewald promised her a world where she can marry the one she loves. I hope she has her happy ending with Jacob. But I also love the fact she joined him because that hasn't happened in the books before. Nobody from the good side joined the other side before.
If Jacob went into the fire wouldn’t he be killed? Being a Muggle?...I think as Queenies last bit of goodness burnt off as she passed through it and that’s how she survived...🤓
I feel like if j.k Rowling did what she did with harry potter and wrote books before the movies it would have been better
Olivia Taylor the real problem is that these stories were cooked up based on marketing ideas. Somebody said “kids like animals and there will be lots of merch we can sell, let’s make a new Harry Potter that’s all about animals.” But they didn’t get to the step about how they would make that a dramatic series _without_ having to hurt or fight animals.
They could have stolen the _Horizon Zero Dawn_ solution and made them evil robot animals. Otherwise, the only option is what they did: have a dramatic story that basically has nothing to do with the setup.
@@saraha180 yeah totally agree but if maybe j.k Rowling had written them as books and not thought about whether there was going to be any film's like she did with hardy potter it would have work
@@saraha180 that's mainly why I didn't like both movies. What the title sounds like: fun movie about being on the hunt for mystical creatures. What the movies are about: abused kids, larger than life supervillain, contrived plot, not really trying to catch magical creatures ... all of that Credence stuff was not interesting to me and the movies became more and more just about that ...

Once upon a time in a far away land, there was a young farmer who lived with his uncle and aunt. Every day he dreamed about having the adventures that his father had, but he knew that his destiny was to stay in his farm instead. One day he received an important message with information to overthrow the evil empire, and because of that his uncles were killed and his farm turned into ashes and fire. Because of that he went to an adventure with his father's old friend, and was taught the magic that his father used until his end. Because of that he managed to save the princess and get to the rebel base, but not before his new master was killed by the dark knight who fought for the empire's case. Because of that he grieved, but had his friends nonetheless. Until finally he destroyed the empire's most terrible weapon, with his master's bless.

@@mariawhalen3649 which one is it then??
As much as I love Newt, he just isn't the fitting main character for the whole Grindelwald Story. Or Grindelwald isn't the antagonist for Newt. His story could have ended after the first film.
Skynikan I agree, Grindelwald is more of an antagonist to the side characters than to Newt
Exactly. Not my favorite movie. But as one movie, it’s not terrible. They are shoving him and his Beasts down our throat. No one cares.
Michael Roman honestly? I just want his book, but with CGI. I want more beasts. I just want more Newt + magical beasts. Grindelwald and Dumbledore can go get their own movie series.
I agree with @Random Cat, and I know we're not alone... I think the one crucial thing JKR and/or Warner Bros. doesn't comprehend is that we of the Potterverse fandom are generally much more interested in hearing about Newt and his relatively low-key adventures with his creatures than about another epic war between the Wizarding World and "The Most Evil Wizard of the Age".
It kind of reminds me of one of my biggest problems with Suicide Squad. The scale of the story is too big for the characters.
I don't know, but I get the feeling the Rowling wanted to tell the story of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and the doomed, toxic, gay romance that pushed Albus to romantic isolation and self impose political unimportance for the rest of his life; and the studio didn't think that would be family friendly, so we ended up with barely coherent Newt and his magical petting zoo. All doomed, of course because Rowling is a great novelist, but a mediocre novice screenplay writer.
I have the same feeling. Like Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship was like a mysterious subplot in the books that was hardly touched upon. I kind of hope that we get to see more of the story of Ilvermorny's history in the following movies as the lore behind it is very intriguing. Perhaps in the way that the three brothers and the Deathly Hallows were explained?
@@LuddyFish_ I don't really think they will, which is a pity, it is an interesting story. I don't know why they can't just tell a totally different story set in Rowling's wizarding world. Something not related to Harry Potter or it's characters. Or at the very least the story that we were supposed to be having. The first movie is the one people most enjoy because it is Newt's movie for the most part but in the second one you can already see what was the story that actually was trying to be told and Newt becomes almost superfluous in his own movie. Oh I rambled on and on again... I'll shut up now.
I dunno...after her many bouts of fake wokeness, I don't have faith your idea would've gone well in her hands either.

Crimes of Grindelwald's problem: Newt
We all love Newt, but he really has wondered into the wrong story 😔
His character has so much potential but the movie....wasn't even about him, so that potential didn't shine.
It felt like it was all set up and exposition, and forced Credence back into story roughly...
I believe that initially, the series was not supposed to have anything to do with Newt after the first movie. I think the original plan was to watch the rise of Grindewald through the eyes of different ancillary characters each movie. Like maybe the second movie would have Bathilda Bagshot as the POV character. However, the 4 main characters - especially Newt - were so popular that they had to scrap those plans and shoehorn Newt into the rest of the series.
@@jchacho6335 I think that would work so much better. To tell few separate stories, which tie with each other, telling the story of Grindelwald. Maybe it wouldn't feel so forced if they created completely different side-story around it, just like they did with first FB.
@@jchacho6335 They should have stuck to this storyline and just called the series Crimes of Grindelwald instead of Fantastic Beasts...

These things are really useful. At school we have a 'creative writing' part of our English exam and this list help alot.
This is absolutely fascinating. I never knew Pixar had this and, as a writer, I really want a poster of these rules on my wall now. They’re amazing.
Lots of people bring up really good and interesting points in the comments as to why the movie failed, but what I found interesting from the video itself is that it seems like ultimately it boiled down to the main character not choosing a side. (It’s possible he could have picked a side and it could have failed anyways, but that’s the one thing I heard you coming back to.) I liked Pixar’s phrasing, that a passive character (especially a main character) is *poison* to the audience. I think that makes a lot of sense. Of course we don’t find the story very compelling…Newt himself was never compelled, and he’s the protagonist we’re supposed to most identify with. That was rule one.
A movie needs to be about the main character. If it’s not, it makes sense it falls apart. People tend to fall more in love with other characters, but there’s still a reason they’re not the protagonist, and shouldn’t be. “Hey look, this character is interesting” won’t successfully substitute for a main character…doing their job being the main character.
I see these movies more like a book. Different chapters to 1 story, rather than 7 stories within a Story
Me too. Cinema should begin this new era of more than three, fours arcs happening simultaneously in a movie, starting with this saga.
Agreed. And that’s how rule #14, trashes everything said by the SCB.
JK has proven us time and time again how perfectly tied up everything is and going for 5 movies should’ve a purpose above mktng stuff. Yes, all companies want money, but how about doing it perfectly like theatre, or 7 books, or 8 movies. Give it time, the lore is thickening and has us talking and theorizing so much that’s actually serving its purpose.
You all say that this movie only will be good in the context of the entire series, but as far as we know literally nothing happens in this movie that’s actually important to the overall plot. The only thing that happens that will be important moving forward is the fact that Queenie and Credence join Grindelwald and credence finds out he’s a Dumbledore. Maybe a few characters that were introduced will be important like Nagini, Flamel and Newt’s brother. But the whole thing with credence wanting to know who he is, everyone chasing him around, finding out he’s actually a Lestrange but actually he’s not is just really a waste of time, we didn’t need to see that before we see the third movie. Then there’s all the other new characters that are introduced but they die so they’re not exactly gonna be important moving forward, Leeta’s sacrifice might be good to know about but literally no one is gonna care about that random guy who supported Grindelwald but not completely so he died, or the black guy who told them a really unnecessary backstory.
It's fine to be part of an over arching plot but every part of the story needs to make sense on it's own too. Think LOTR. Each movie they have one big thing that happens, all of which are stockpiling until they get to the big over arching thing. But each one is a complete story on it's own as well. Movies need to have a complete story first. Once they have that THEN they can work towards tying in an over arching narrative. What is crimes of grindlewalds complete story?
Forest Grump i think the main differences is that this movies come actually from direct screenplay rather than a whole book like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.

I'm reminded of something Rowling once said in an interview...
_"The lake is the setting for the second task that the Triwizard competitors must face in Goblet of Fire, which is also my favourite task. I find it satisfyingly creepy; I like the diversity of the methods employed by the competitors to breathe underwater, and I enjoyed plumbing the depths of a part of the grounds that had never been seen before. In the original draft of Chamber of Secrets, I had Harry and Ron crash into the lake in Mr Weasley's Ford Anglia, and meet the merpeople there for the first time. At that time I had a vague notion that the lake might lead to other places, and that the merpeople might play a larger role in the later books than they did, so I thought that Harry ought to be introduced to both at this stage. However, the Whomping Willow provided a more satisfying, less distracting crash, and served a later purpose in Prisoner of Azkaban, too. The Great Lake (which is really a Scottish loch, apparently freshwater and landlocked) never did develop as a portal to other seas or rivers, although the appearance of the Durmstrang ship from its depths in Goblet of Fire hints at the fact that if you are travelling by an enchanted craft, you might be able to take a magical shortcut to other waterways."_
If Newt had been surprised by Dumbledore asking him when they met and take his Kelpie with him from his home to Hogsmeade, and they met in the dead of night outside Honeydukes and Dumbledore suddenly showing up from _inside_ said shop, asking him to be quiet as not to wake up the owners in the upstairs flat and brought him into Hogwarts castle, where they would sneak outside and walk to the edge of the Great Lake.There, Dumbledore converse with the Merpeople, and told Newt that if he releases his Kelpie into the lake, the Merpeople had agreed to escort him to one of the secret passages underwater that would bring him out to sea, and that he could journey from there to France. Just release the Kelpie, have Dumbledore wish Newt good luck before Newt climbs into the case, Dumbledore closes it, locks it, casts an Impervius Charm
on it so it will repel water and tosses it in after the Kelpie, which shoots dramatically up from the water, the case carefully tucked between its teeth, and then disappears back underwater. BOOM. That's how there would've been a pay-off to the Kelpie.
How is it Rowling didn't think of this?
When you have such an expansive universe with many rules and places, it gets hard just to follow one path and make the sacrifice to leave some things out. I really like this idea though of Newt travelling through the ocean on Kelpie as it brings in more of Newt's closeness to magical beasts. And I might add as well this is very plausible as there is an ocean swim where you swim across the English Channel and many have succeeded.
The fact that you took the time to research the exact quote, think of this exact scenario, plan it out like an actual movie while keeping in mind that the audience wants to see action and write it all out as a comment in a TH-cam video makes me reconsider my level of geekness.

@Marianne He did know about the Marauders. Everyone who ever met James, Sirius, Remus and Peter knew the four of them was thick as thieves back at school. As for Sirius breaking in, there's about seventy years between Crimes of Grindelwald and book 3. If he didn't use it since and didn't think of it much in all that time, perhaps it simply didn't occur to him. Alternatively, perhaps he could have let Newt inside the school through the front gates?
You want Dumbledore to cast an Unforgivable curse???? What?
I was soooo confused 30 seconds in when my ringtone started playing but had no incoming call...
"Face to back-face" HAHAHA

TMNT! I don't know which version but I'm gonna guess the one usually associated with the 90s cartoon.
Well. That just made TMNT make even less sense then it did.
